摘要
A femtosecond Kerr shutter was demonstrated using a lead-bismuth-gallate oxide glass. The optical gating time was measured to be less than 350 fs and the peak Kerr transmittance was found to be 2.3 times larger than that of the standard Kerr CS2 liquid medium, giving nonlinear Kerr coefficient n(2) = 4.4 x 10(-11) esu.
